FAQ
How does The Creative Crowd work?
The Creative Crowd provides a safe and secure way to find and communicate with people of your choice. In a nutshell, you choose a username (a screen name or alias) and set up a profile describing yourself or company and professional background, then check with whom you'd like to network with within the community. You can view other's profiles by searching the Network and in turn they can view your profile. When you find a user that interests you, you can send a message via the site to their username. The message is sent to their email address from your username - your real name and email address are never shown. In turn you may receive messages from other members in your email inbox. These messages will be from their username and not their real email address, protecting both your and their privacy. When you are ready you may choose to tell the other member your real contact details. We recommend that you read our guidelines for safe online communication.
